The space
Beachfront studio KOLOKITHA in first row, just 50 ft from the sea, set on a private, fenced property with only three cottages. Quiet, safe and perfect for a relaxing seaside stay. Only a few steps to the water.
Bright 36 m² studio with high vaulted ceiling, king-size bed, sofa bed, full A/C, and beautiful sea views. Fully equipped kitchen, indoor & outdoor dining areas, and a separate natural marble floored bathroom with window, shower, sink and toilet.
Private gazebo with seating and unobstructed sea view—ideal for relaxing, dining, and enjoying sunsets by the water.
Peaceful location away from crowds, yet only a short walk (200 m) to a charming fishing village with authentic tavernas, cafés and a nearby bus stop.
Eco-friendly stay with solar energy and photovoltaic power system. Breakfast from 9 A.M. to 13.00 possible in Isla Restaurant only 70 meters from the cottage. (breakfast not included)

Guest access
You will have your private studio with unobstructed seaview, a private outside area that is separated from the 2 other cottages with tall natural stone walls. Your outside area has an eating place, shade by a pergola as well as a private sunbathing platform with seaview.

Other things to note
The cottages are located ca 100 meters from Plaka village, just a short walk along or behind Plaka Beach. Plaka has many taverns and cafés as well as a beach bar. On very rare occasions (2-3 times during the whole summer season) there is life music in one of the restaurants or beach bar that can be heard over the bay also in the cottages. It usually stops at 23.00
A Climate Made for Perfect Holidays
What sets Crete apart climatically is its steady, ever-present breeze. Thanks to this natural cooling effect, temperatures here never reach the oppressive, sticky extremes you might experience on islands like the Balearics — making for consistently pleasant, comfortable days no matter when you visit.
From May through October, average day and night temperatures hover in a wonderfully livable range: a mild ~20°C in May, climbing to a warm ~24°C in June, peaking at a sunny 27-28°C during the height of summer in July, easing slightly to around 26-27°C in August, and gently cooling back down through September (~24°C) and October (~20°C).
The wind is the true secret to Crete's comfortable climate. Starting at a gentle ~25 km/h in May, it builds to a refreshing 34-38 km/h during the peak summer months of July and August. This constant sea breeze not only keeps the heat in check.
Whether you're here for a relaxed spring getaway or a lively summer escape, Crete offers warm sunshine tempered by nature's own air conditioning — perfect for beach days, outdoor exploring, and everything in between.
